Chapter 917: How many people in the world have a public heart?

Since the beginning of this year, there has been an earthquake in Nanjing and then in Beijing. There have been no less than seven or eight earthquakes in two consecutive months. Most of them only shook the house and did not hurt anyone, but the shock they caused was definitely not small.

In addition, there was such a commotion in the early years of Xuande, so the theory of relocating the capital that had been discontinued in the court was gradually thrown out by some people. After all, in everyone's eyes, Jinling was the fundamental place of the Ming Dynasty. Compared with today's

The capital is much more important.

But this matter was once a big deal when there was a fire in the Third Hall. Later, Yan Guan was convicted and exiled, and the matter was settled. Now it is not so big. Zhu Zhanji just reprimanded a few people sharply, and the matter was suppressed.

But then, someone brought up the matter of Nanjing officials' dereliction of duty. Among them, Zhao Fang missed writing an official document because he was drunk, and Li Qing failed to control a group of troublemaking soldiers because he was in charge of the Ministry of War.

As a result, he was impeached. Not only that, but one of the most daring censors directly quoted the contents of two private letters. For a time, those Nanjing officials who had faded out of people's sight for a long time suddenly appeared in front of the courtiers again.

Nowadays, in addition to several ministers, Nanjing also has several old ministers such as Zhang Benguozi who have become officials. It can be regarded as a real retirement base. Compared with those who have been idle, Li Qing

It was because he repeatedly advised Zhu Zhanji to go hunting that the young emperor was disgusted. Therefore, compared with those who impeached Zhao Wei, there were more people who were directed at Li Qing. After all, Li Qing had been waiting for several years in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War.

I worked in this yamen, and my harsh nature offended many people. But what I didn't expect was that after the overwhelming memorials entered the palace, there was nothing to follow. When they finally leaked out again through the cabinet several days later, there were so many memorials above.

There were many harsh criticisms issued by Zhu. As for the censor who was the most provocative at first, he was directly demoted to Qiongzhou Prefecture.

Just when the new people wanted to overthrow the old people and vacate their seats, the King of Yue did not wait until the dust settled. He never expected that before the palace was completed, he would be miserable.

He was driven away miserably and became a feudal lord. On the day he entered the palace to bid farewell to Queen Mother Zhang, he made all the gestures, kowtowed and shed tears, but all he got in exchange was his mother shaking his head and sighing, and in the end he had to sit down under the setting sun in the west.

He left the palace with a long figure. It happened that just when he was approaching Donghua Gate, he met Zhang Yue who was coming out of Wenhua Hall. When they met, the two pairs of eyes looked at each other, and they immediately wiped out

spark.

Compared with the princes of the Tang and Song Dynasties, the vassal princes of the Ming Dynasty were much higher in terms of status and other treatment. Therefore, Zhang Yue bowed to him meticulously, and then stepped aside to make way. However, the King of Yue did not leave.

He meant, but walked straight over and said with a smile: "Master Zhang, it's a coincidence that there is a Yue character in your name, and there is also a Yue character in the title of this vassal. I don't know if it is Chaozhong Yishan

There is no room for transgression. Less than a year after you come back from Jiaozhi, this vassal state will leave and become a vassal state."

There were eunuchs behind the King of Yue, and Zhang Yue himself had a young eunuch leading the way, so those tense words were not suitable to be spoken at this time. As soon as he thought about it, he remembered what Yang Shiqi and others said when they gave him the name,

So he said unhurriedly: "Your Highness is joking. In fact, leaving aside the meaning of the place name represented by the word Yue, there is a saying that things will turn to the extreme, and water will overflow when it is full. The word Yue has the meaning of going too far and not being enough, so Yang

Mr. Ge and the two Scholars Shen gave me the meaning of the word "Biao" that day, and they deliberately chose Yuanjie, so that I could have a beginning and an end, and be honest and self-restrained. Therefore, there is no saying that one mountain cannot be crossed by two."

In terms of knowledge, although the King of Yue has now sent two more tutors and left the court to study very early, he is already a wealthy vassal king, so how could he spend so much time on these things. Therefore, Zhang Yue stopped him with one sentence.

When he came back, he could only give Zhang Yue a sharp look, and then he said with a double meaning: "Master Zhang is a third-rank official at a young age. It is rare in ancient and modern times. But being too conspicuous will inevitably become the target of public criticism. When he was in power, he still

Please be more tolerant and don’t violate the principle of kindness and forgiveness.”

Zhang Yue naturally accepted this with a smile. However, when he watched the King of Yue leave the palace from a distance, surrounded by a large group of eunuchs, he knew in his heart that unless something big happened, the younger brother of the emperor and his mother would

There was no way he could come back. He had heard that there were changes in the history books when Yingzong ascended the throne. Everyone said that the Queen Mother wanted to establish King Xiang, but later Yingzong still ascended the throne. Under the system of the Ming Dynasty, the young ruler had no control over the entire world.

It will never have a good impact, so the top priority is not so much those changes, but rather allowing Zhu Zhanji to live well.

He has already written to Feng Yuanming, but the problem is that he is not sure whether he can find this person. He also does not know that this person used to be an imperial doctor and is now practicing medicine and saving people on the vast grassland. He is even known as a holy doctor.

Doctor, do you have any breakthrough insights?

Since the exchange of words between the King of Yue and Zhang Yue took place in the palace, it naturally soon reached Zhu Zhanji's ears. To others, these few words were just that the King of Yue was dissatisfied with Zhang Yue, or that he wanted to leave the capital and leave the vassal state.

He was full of resentment, but the emperor would not simply look at it like this. Just a few days ago, Dongchang just reported that Chen Shan had behaved somewhat suspiciously in the incident at the end of last year. Although he had not summoned anyone,

He came to question him face to face, but he also paid a lot of attention. These days, the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate was constantly impeaching him. He pressed the details and asked people to interrogate him at the same time. As a result, Zhang Ying was found, and he couldn't help but feel disappointed in his heart.

Among the officials who were in the East Palace, except for the two who were imprisoned before, Chen Shan and Zhang Ying were the ones he liked the most, so after he ascended the throne, he transferred them to the cabinet, but he didn't expect that the two of them had not yet established a firm foothold.

, he had conflicts with Yang Shiqi and other veterans on major policies, and then even secretly fought constantly. He was very disgusted with abusing public affairs for private purposes and soon had people withdraw from the cabinet. One was sent to Nanjing, and the other was in charge of the inner library.

It is expected that the two of them still refused to give up in the end.

"How many people in the world can have a most charitable heart?"

After sighing, he said to Wang Jin who reported the matter at the side: "Send someone to Nanjing with a few words to Zhang Ying. Just say that I still remember his kindness as a student, and ask him not to force him."

Let me do the painful thing. Also, you go to see Zhang Yue and tell me that I didn’t have enough fun shooting willows during the Dragon Boat Festival. Pick a day to go hunting in Xiyuan and ask him to prepare. He, the Minister of War, can also show his skills.

.I heard that the martial arts students are quite advanced, so I will pick twenty of them and I will see what they are capable of!"

Wang Jin quickly agreed, and then remembered what he had asked Zhang Yue to do when he met Zhang Yue before, and hurriedly said with a smile: "There is another matter, the matter of the reclassification of the twenty-four yamens. Xiao and Eunuch Fan Jin Gonggong Lu.

The father-in-law has almost finished the discussion, but the internal officer Eunuch Zheng is seriously ill a few days ago. Although the imperial doctor has been going to see him, it seems that he will not last long. It should be noted that Eunuch Zheng was the most useful person of Emperor Taizong at that time, and he went to sea many times to make meritorious deeds.

Outstanding, isn't it..."

"Zheng He..." Zhu Zhanji suddenly remembered the memorial that Zhang Yue had submitted before. The reason why he had not approved it was because Zhang Yue said that he wanted to customize the system for opening seas, the system for the navy, and the system for the garrison. It was clearly formulated, so he was worried about the reaction of the ministers, so he put it aside for a long time. Since Wang Jin only mentioned Zheng He at this time, he thought about it briefly and nodded and said, "Zheng He has traveled overseas for many years and has made great contributions." If you don’t reward me, I will grant you the title of Sanbao eunuch and order the cabinet to draft an edict.”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Jin hurriedly thanked him, and when he left the Qianqing Palace, he was very excited. Naturally, there was always strife among eunuchs, but Zheng He, who was about to die, could bestow such a title. For Others are naturally an inspiration. Moreover, Zhang Yue can speak justice for Zheng He, who has no close friendship with him, let alone others.

"Eunuch Zheng, I just hope you can survive this time... You have to take care of the younger generation in the palace for this business at sea."

Without the inner study hall, the other eunuchs did not have the good luck of making friends with them, so they had no choice but to try to survive in the fleet that sailed to the West.

When Zhang Yue got the news from Wang Jin, he was also very happy. Therefore, Wang Jin made it clear what he should explain, saying that he would first go to Zheng Mansion to have a look, and by the way, when he reported the good news to Zheng He, He even delivered it to the door himself. After waiting for the others to leave, he went back to his room and stretched himself. Then he sent someone to the martial arts school to report the news, asking Shi Heng to pick out twenty people to prepare for hunting in Xiyuan, and then he set off. Went to Xu Kuo’s place.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw an empty wall in the huge room. Xu Kuo was instructing several slaves to paste something on the wall. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. When he stepped forward, he realized that it was actually a shrunken Looking at the sea chart, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked: "Mr. Xu, when was this drawn?"

"When? I dug this out of the box. It's not the latest chart they brought back this time. I just thought it was a pity that this simple chart was abandoned, so I simply hung it up. I didn't expect that the foreign barbarians around me were quite small. Every place is as big as a palm, so it’s no wonder that when you see those Shenwei ships, you look out for the wind and retreat."

Zhang Yue had seen those satellite surveying and mapping people of later generations, so he naturally knew that these charts were quite rough and far from accurate. However, he was completely ignorant of things like scale and orientation, and he could not put that kind of The extremely unreliable directions were used to bluff people, so I saw Xu Kuo looking at the map with mixed feelings. Fortunately, today's civil servants are relatively easy to persuade. Even Xu Kuo, who is very old, can accept those Western things. .Thinking that he had distributed all the seeds sent by Wang Jinghong for trial planting, and it looked like there were corn and potatoes among them, but he was still not sure whether America had been discovered, and he couldn't help but look at the huge sea map in trance.

"Although the Fourth Department of the Ministry of War, the Staff Division, the Chariot and Driving Department, the Military Selection Department, the Arsenal Department, and the Espionage Department are under the Staff Department, if we really say that they are responsibilities, they are actually separated. I think they can be divided into two departments in the future. They should be separated." Zhang Yue thought that sooner or later he would leave the Ministry of War behind, and couldn't help but said to Xu Kuo next to him, "Moreover, if the Shenwei Ship and Shenwei Guard can become an institution and continue to exist permanently like the Guards Station, I think These two should be separated from the ordinary military selection arsenal and have a separate department."

"Are you so sure that you can persuade the emperor and the ministers? You know, these two are criticized a lot nowadays, not to mention setting up a special department in the Ministry of War, which is equivalent to making this a system. Even the Ministry of Household Affairs will I think you are too busy, after all, having one more doctor and one more member of staff to be in charge means an extra salary... although it won't make much money!"

The personal relationship between Xu Kuo and Zhang Yue was now very good. At this time, he couldn't help but joke. Seeing that Zhang Yue was actually thinking about it seriously, he coughed dryly: "It would be fine if Mr. Huang, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, could work for a few more years." , but it's a pity that he is also old. At the beginning, because Jian Xia was old, the emperor relieved the ministry affairs and concentrated on planning major events. He only prepared meetings. I was afraid that he would not be able to work for long and he would also relieve the ministry affairs. But after all, he was I have been in Jiaozhi for too long, and my understanding of North Korea and China's aircraft maintenance is not as good as others. I'm afraid I will have to retreat to Nanjing. If you have anything to do, you might as well discuss it with him now, before it is too late to make plans in the future."

"Why, did Mr. Xu hear something?"

"It's not really a rumor. When I went to the Ministry of Household Affairs to do business that day, Mr. Huang took me out of the house, but he staggered and almost tripped. Later, a Zaoli also said that Mr. Huang's legs and feet had deteriorated after staying in Jiaozhi for a long time. It is inconvenient, and it is difficult for the body to adapt to the climate in the north. Nowadays, the hot weather is very good, but the cold weather may not be able to survive. You don't know how tiring this morning is. It is cold in winter and hot in summer, and your health is not good. I can’t stand it.”

So, the Minister of Household Affairs is likely to be vacant again?

Zhang Yue had a very good impression of Huang Fu, but when he thought of a lot of trembling old people at this age, they still had to struggle to take care of the complicated household affairs, and had to work with young people like them regardless of wind or rain. When he went to court, he couldn't help but shook his head. No matter what good muscles and bones he had worked hard for, they would have been worn out after more than ten years in Jiaozhi. Only people like Yang Shiqi could work tirelessly day after day. It seems to be coming down.

After discussing military affairs with Xu Kuo for a while, Zhang Yue just said goodbye. When it was time to leave the Yamen, he saw the man standing with a smile on his face as he walked out of the Yamen Gate. He was stunned and beamed with joy. I had to go forward, and immediately the man jumped down in a hurry. The two of them looked at each other. After all, they were worried that this was in front of the Liubu Yamen where people were coming and going, so they only exchanged a few words and went back to the Yamen to complete the paperwork. The delivery and various formalities were completed, and then they left together. It was not until they entered Wugong Alley and dismounted in front of the Du Mansion that the two of them stretched out their hands, but they held them tightly.

"You are finally back!"
Chapter completed!
